Personal Narrative: Becoming G. O. A. T.

Four or Five years ago if you were to tell me that I would be confidently applying to the University of Miami I would have laughed. Through high school I did not give much effort and like most of my peers, thought that furthering my education was my only option. Nearing the end of my senior year I started realizing that no noteworthy university would even consider accepting someone like me. As the days ticked away, I applied to a nearby college with an incredibly high acceptance rate and found myself opening an acceptance letter a few weeks later.

Through my experience with the healthcare field, I have seen that low socioeconomic status, culture, and access are the major contributors to the health disparities today. Whether it is not being able to afford health insurance/medical costs, a culture that’s attitude and beliefs does not put much value on preventative care, or simply not having appropriate transportation to the doctor, all these factors work together against the patient. Medical professions can best tackle these issues by first knowing and understanding the needs of the population in which they practice. Theoretically, if one is aware of specific needs then those needs can be better addressed, whether they are financial or cultural needs. Also, medical professionals can work

Last year Steph held a clinic for boys and girls in Tokyo. Stephen Curry and his family gave four hundred boxes of food to Oakland California families. He paid for all of the boxes and gave some special advice to the kids saying that they should stay in school and appreciate your family. Steph’s generous attitude makes him a hero because even though he is an amazing basketball player on the court he is an amazing generous person off the court.

The career I became interested in is a Physician’s Assistant, or a few people call them PAs. I became interested in this job in my sophomore year of high school. It all started when I attended the STEM fair after school one day. STEM fair is only offered to students who are in either the biomedical Stem academy or the engineer academy. At this fair, students tour around to different classrooms to acquire information on different careers. I attended the Physician’s Assistant one, where there was an actual PA to give information on what PAs achieve. For example, PAs examine patients for diseases, injuries and illnesses.

Although I may seem to be the worst basketball player in existence, watching NBA games astonishingly is one of my favorite things to do. This is most true when Wardell Stephen Curry is playing. Steph Curry is a member of the Golden State Warriors. Currently the team has a record of 46-4, which makes most of the games exciting and relaxing to watch. Watching Steph step out on the court, always giving his all, happens to be very inspirational. One can tell when Steph is shooting deep threes that he’s not just in it for the money, but he has a genuine love for the sport.

This year started with many changes to my and the other paraprofessionals schedules. For the first month or so I didn’t know where I would be assigned for the day. I started out with Ms. Ireland and her crew of sixth graders. I was comfortable with this assignment because I was familiar with the students. Then we had the turnover of several paraprofessional positions. One left to pursue a different career, another didn’t come back after summer break and another just left. So we were down to a crew of five paraprofessionals when we started with eight. It took some adjustment and some new hires but we finally got to a “normal” schedule and we each knew where we were expected to be daily. (Most of the time)

During the course of my college years, I have considered alternate career options. I have contemplated becoming a physician’s assistant, a dentist, or a podiatrist. Physician’s assistants and doctors play similar roles in clinics; I would still be able to see patients and enjoy the interpersonal aspect of delivering healthcare. Additionally, I would still be able to play an important role in primary care and do my utmost for the sake of my patients, which is hugely appealing.

It was an opportunity I could not pass up. The words over the intercom for the availability was a job that I planned to pursue. As I stepped into the activities office, I see flyers on the boards, people huddled around the desk. It was an awkward feeling for me, something that I never planned to do as a freshman in high school. I stepped up to the desk, somehow bringing up the courage to ask about the requirements for the position. I was handed a packet that consisted of three papers; the first page was the requirements, the second being the job positions, and the third being the recommendations. Reading all the requirements, I turned the page back to the second. I then circled the the option of “Freshman Secretary”.

Growing up I lacked responsibility and as an unfortunate repercussion my education suffered the most. However, after years of working dead end jobs and maturing, my priorities took a dramatic three hundred and sixty degree turn and changed. I had an incredible motivation, my three young school aged boys. I wanted nothing more than for their education to matter to them, and so to reflect that I set out to be the role model I really hoped to see in them one day. With that aspiration in my mind and heart, I began my pursuit of my general education degree; commonly referred to its acronym, the G.E.D test.

While Stephen Curry has become a hero to some for the dazzling skills he showcases in the National Basketball League, not enough attention is given to his early life. He was raised in an athletic family who helped shape him into the player he is today. Due to his size, Curry had his fair share of doubters, but he knew that he would have an opportunity to play at the next level. He was remarkable in his middle and high school careers. He was not recruited by many, but had a remarkable career at Davidson, leading them to an Elite 8 appearance in 2008. Even after Davidson’s run ended, Steph knew that he would have an opportunity to play at the next level.

You may have heard of Stephen Curry. He is number 30 for the Golden State Warriors, an NBA national championship team. Stephen wasn’t always a household name, coming out of high school he wasn’t even recruited by any big name schools. This man, an NBA Most Valuable Player, by unanimous vote, was once a five foot six inches, one hundred and twenty-five pound boy. Growing up with a father like Dell Curry, an NBA star himself, it wasn’t hard for Stephen to decide his career path. To make this dream happen, in eighth grade Stephen chose to start doing basketball all year round. Growing up in small town North Carolina, Stephen always wanted to play for the big name schools like, UNC, Wake Forest, or Duke, but they didn’t want him. As a sophomore he was too small, only being 5’ 6” and still shooting from his waist. He spent the whole summer before his junior year working on his shooting form. All his hard work paid off when he averaged 20 points a game that season. Despite these successes, still no top 25 school wanted Curry. Until Bob McKillop from Davidson University contacted Stephen and his family. Bob McKillop said, “Other schools only saw his size, his strength, his stature. I saw

Psychologists say that childhood passions and experiences often lead to future careers, I believe this is accurate for me and led me to my goal of becoming a nurse in the army. Being a nurse in the army is a demanding job, a lifelong commitment of learning, excellent teamwork and leadership skills and a passion for helping people. Personally, I believe that I offer all of these qualities.

I grew up with five brothers, naturally there was a heated competitive nature in my household over anything and everything. Notably when the competition at hand was the sport of basketball. Growing up basketball was more than a game, it was a way of life. My brothers and I analyzed every aspect of basketball, we were students of the game. I recall the 2008 NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament, there was this undersized point guard playing for Davidson College by the name of Stephen Curry. This kid took the basketball world by storm, he became an overnight sensation. He led the Davidson College Wildcats all the way to the National Quarterfinals, an oddity for Davidson’s basketball program. Despite losing to Kansas in the National Quarterfinals, he increased his draft stock from possibly undrafted to a first round talent over the course of a few weeks. Additionally, in the 2009 NBA Draft Stephen Curry was selected 7th overall, and from that point on he has changed the game of basketball like never before. Steph Curry or the “Babyface Assassin” changed the game by his upbringing, style of play, and his portrayal.
